I'd like to meet:
Mostly people I've already met. I'm not opposed to making new aquaintances through this medium, but I barely make time for people I know already. So, If I know you, or we've met, or if we have mutual friends, then please contact me. If you are a stranger with a lot of common interests, then okay, maybe. If you are just bored and curious, please move on. I would like to use myspace as a way of keeping in touch with old friends or those who have moved away.

Television:
I don't have cable, but I am going to rent all of those HBO series that everyone raves about. I liked The Sopranos and I hope the others are that well done. I used to have basic cable and I liked watching the cartoon network and Animal Planet sometimes. I will always tune in to watch SNL, even though it's hit and miss nowadays. I watch the news on public television every now and then. Most people I know say that they hate TV and never watch it. They are lying. Even those who don't have a television get sucked into it, like when they're at a bar or at someone elses house. I always mute the commercials. I absolutely hate television advertising. Radio ads are even worse !
